Norway maple hollow form

Very nice Lou, what dia hole did you start with? And what hollowing system you using?

Thanks very much Paul. I started with a 7/8” Forstner bit, but by the time I was finished the hole had grown to 1 3/16”. I have a Trent Bosch stabilizer and a homemade video hollowing setup using an old laptop and a usb webcam that I turned a mount for so it fits in the TB laser arm on the stabilizer. For this smaller hollow form I used Mike Jakofsky’s 1/2” bar cutters with carbide cup cutters (from Craft Supplies I think). I took a weeklong class from Trent last June at the J.C. Campbell School, and it was terrific.

Forgive my misspelling. It’s Mike Jackofsky.
